If Vix3n was axed, why is she on the leaderboard?

Evacuate? In our moment of triumph? I think you overestimate their chances.

Meh, Celes COULD win (I took her just to take a risk... I didn't really care about this bracket as much). But it could also end up being a Vergil/Ghaleon affair.

When I woke up I was shocked to see this match 9k over Samus/Nidoran then I remembered that this is the weekend.

This is also a good indicator of how well Nightmare would do. Nightmare would likely be stronger than Ivy (like 2-4% stronger), meaning Nightmare at least avoids the tripling.

Would Nightmare beat Jin?

I also maintain Yoshimitsu would outdo Nightmare.

Voldo would bomb, so many SC fans dislike him and when your fanbase is small all ready you can't alienate them any more. Nightmare > Yoshimitsu

It's a sad fact that you had to derail this topic because you are afraid of the power of the PS3 -- cade

This match is already ahead of Samus/Nidoran F by 600 votes, so it looks like we may have a new top vote grabber.

That could be because kids and teens who normally vote after school are voting when they wake up. I assume the afternoon won't have as many votes as the previous matches have.

I'd think Nightmare > Jin. Soul Calibur has always had a bigger presence on this site than Tekken. It's a shame we could get an SC character into this back in 2k4, back when the series was still riding high on SC2

I expect to see Soul Calibur 4 this gen sometime (using the Wii controller on Voldo would be somehow awesome). We could go for it then.

It doesn't matter. Smurf lives in Ireland and can't win prizes anyway.

And Smurf got axed, along with Vix3n? XD! Like we needed more proof.

Ceej was considering making a topic to embarrass him a bit, but I'm fairly sure he decided against it once people figured it out on their own.

Either it's a sign that weekend matches will be more top-heavy in votes, or these ladies are drawing massive votes beacuse they're, well...top-heavy :P

Smurf's just pitiful now. You would think he would take the axe as a sign that he should probably spend some time away from this site, but he immediately makes an alt and goes back to trolling. Sad.

THEJackSparrow | Posted 9/16/2006 9:30:14 AM | message detail
Sorry if I dislike when people throw out guarantees about an in-doubt match. Neither side of this had any reason to guarantee crap beforehand.

But that's still no reason to be just as obnoxious, if not moreso, than they were. Call somebody out, fine, but don't be obnoxious about it.

Anyway...Wow, Kairi ended up winning pretty comfortably. I saw that final margin, and I was rather surprised. Tifa's doing right about what I expected. I figure she'll maintain the tripling, perhaps a little above or below. I expected the vote totals to be a little more front-loaded because it's the weekend, so yeah, expect a slowdown in the second half.

Based on SC2K5 Tifa, Ivy Valentine currently stands at 15.61% on BL (meaning Jin wins with 57.51% in a head-to-head match), barely above Wesker. Of course, this isn't taking into consideration any Advent Children/KHII boost. Either way, two characters that were involved in KHII are looking mighty impressive so far.

And for those who were talking about an Ivy/Lenneth match earlier, based on 2005 Rikku, Lenneth is at 13.28% on BL, meaning she gets 42.54% on Ivy.

Also, I like the picture for tomorrow. It's a good one of The Boss, and while it's not a flattering one of Celes, it's from perhaps the most beloved scene in FFVI, so hopefully that will help her out.

Actually, the Gullwings did have one of the best moments in the ending, stealing that sea-salted ice cream bar from Yuffie.

Other than that, meh. They weren't important at all.

Ah, fair enough.


I'm still thinkin' about a Nidoran/Ivy match. If Ivy wins that, Tifa's getting 39% or more on Samus...

...but, since Tifa-2k5 is expected to get 39% on Samus-2k4, Tifa should do a good deal better than that now that KH2 and FF:AC is out. Any chance Tifa could get, say...43% on Samus?

Well, it's not like Tifa's a main character. She only does barely something in the beginning, and then she just stands in town. I wouldn't count on her being more important than me. Then again, no one is more important than me!!

Rikku > Samus!
Janus5000 | Posted 9/16/2006 9:49:44 AM | message detail
I'd almost expect Tifa to overperform Bowser/Ganondorf-style on Samus - 44-45% wouldn't surprise me too much.

Tifa is involved in the storyline behind the Sephiroth fight, which is one of the bigger things about KHII, even if it is optional (didn't matter back in 2003!). Plus, she fights alongside you during the Heartless invasion.

I'm still thinkin' about a Nidoran/Ivy match. If Ivy wins that, Tifa's getting 39% or more on Samus...

Right now, just strictly going by 2k5 adjusted stats, Ivy is currently a bit above Wesker. If Nidoran F is slighty under Laharl, then Ivy wins with about 51-52%

At the 15:00 mark, this match has 85770 votes. To compare with other matches at the same time:

Final Fantasy/Diablo - 84833
Zelda/Mega Man X - 88213
Castlevania/Kingdom Hearts - 88268
Sonic/Smash Brothers - 83327

Wow, talk about a vote spike on the weekend. This is looking like a 125,000+ match. If this is what we can expect from weekend matches, I wonder what The Boss/Celes will manage. If only Ada/Jade had happened on a Saturday...
